EDITOR TRlBUNE:-For some time
past the question has revolved it,

detrimental to the cololed an TO

The reproduction in the TRIBUNE

from the Evening Call, the organ
Of the Knights Of Labor in this ci y,
entitled Justice at last has Sci

city. Some months ago, for HE
sake OF economy the Central rail
road authorities under Capt.

to employ a few colored men in
subordinate positions and around
the shops and ward, and on the
trains. The Knights of Labor
were very much excited over the
move" but under the circumstances
they had no alternative but to sui
nit. When however the new ad
mimstra!ion came into power, the
Knights protested, and 80 success

that report may contain, whatever
it contains, good or evil, Georgia
needs prison reform. The com
mittee by bills or otherwise may
recommend or condemn the lessee,
it wont meet the present wants OF
Georgia's good citizens. We need
a reformation. The couvicts are
unfortunate human beings and
ought not to be punished beyond
the limits of the law. If criminals
are sent to prison for reformation,
the means OF reform ought to be in
reach and they ought to practice it,
that when they have served their
term the mark of reformation will
be felt by the community, but at
present when they return home we
see marked degradation upon them.

think under the contract entered
into by the State aud lessee about
ten years ago, that the State Can
establish such a prison without a
violation OF her obligation, l think
the State is TO furnish the lessee
with able bodied convicls, now il
that be true the women, minors and
feeble bodied men ought not be sent
to the lessee. The State ought to
provide an experimental farm for
UGH convicts and on that farm a
school for those under IL years OF
age. Again We need reform other
than the prison reform, real prison
reform cannot be without u better
SENSE of righteousness among the
people. 1t must come to pass that
justice must be just, it must come
through the conscience of the peo-
pie. Men of law and order must
have assurance that the courts will
protect society by enforcing
promptly and certainly the laws OF
the land, and they must sustain the
courts in doing their duty. Tn re
must be more equity in justice.
There must be Justice tllnd and
deaf to tavolitism as to men or
classes of men There must be "a
Justice that will not and cannot sen
tence poor wretch who steals a
coat or piece of tobacco for u
longer term than the rich man who
breaks u bank or rob a thousand
people; that will not and cannot
send a poor man without friends or
money to prison for longer term
than a rich man with both money
and friends who has committed the
same offence; that will not and Can

what incensed against us for having
reproduced its outrageous article,
entitled; Justice at last" in the
last issue OF the TRIBUNE The
Calls editor complains by inference
of our want of courtesy by styling
his article ~ viIlianous, and then
proceeds Immediately to speak OF Us

very doubtful class of people.
However the public cares nothing
Of personalities that may enter in
newspaper articles, but it is unre-
lenting in demanding that facts
shall be submitted when il is died
% to pass judgment. We would
say to the presiding geniOus of the
Call that we have read the article
taken from bis paper. Yes we
have carefully read it and we fail
10 find a single redeemlng feature
IN it, aud being, III our judgment,
nm attack calculated to have the
effect of injuring the colored peo-
pie, we have concluded to demand

comments on it's Justice at last"
article in which the editor says:
I'VE said nothing in that article
against mlI priced labor, white or
black" Well let M see. By a
reference to the article in question
the most casual reader will see that
all that WAS said was IN favor of
white labor and against the colored
race, IN appears by the following
extracts therelrom:
The members of that Board are rich, bu'
the little pittance more than earned by white
labor, must be taken from them and given
80 another race.
well the workingmen have reason feel
ingly to remember the gentlemen consistin
that Board and they ought, if possible,
secure perfect list Of their names and stick
it where they can always see il, and every
lime they look at it ask with clepched teeth
ii those men had souls in their bodies that
kindred blood receives no earthly considera'
tior at their hand.
I'VE rejoice now that il (the old board
that employed colored mem was beaten and
we hope the new board, in appreciation of it,
own race and color, will long preside over
the Central, while their predecessors will
revel In the iDfAmy they richly deserve"
The abova language was used by
the Call because the new board of
management of theCentral railroad
il is said has decided not to employ
colorvd men, and to turn out the
coIored men already employed and
PM white men in their place. And
tue old b. ,rd, whit. meu, are to be

Persons having blind relatives or friends
yill on Tuesdays obtain any information
they may want about books, maps, writ
ing apparatus teachers and so on for their
special benefit Not the least curious part
of the exhibition is what is contained in
the bookcase. There is there a large coll
lection of quarto volumes, all the principal
characters OF which are raised on tho
Braille system. This is now more in u.s.
than any other in Italy, Prussia, Alsace
and the United States. 1t is said that
has the merit of being very simple, but ~
an unaccustomed eye it is as hard to make
out rs shorthand.
ENGLISH BLIND ALPHABET.
The English blind alphabet is quite diff
ferent, looking like the Ninevite inscrip-
tion. The letters according to the Braille
system are made like the French sign for
an acute accent, and are set in squares.
The relative angles at which they are
placed one to another, give them alpha
betical meaning. Blindness is much moro
the scourge of the poor man than of the
rich. If, therefore. charitable societies

would be impossible for this unfortunate
class to obtain them. Most of those in
the Braille type are for school classes

zion among tho blind
But the efforts made in this direction in
France are poor when compared with the
results won in England, although the
alphabet used there seems less easy to
learn and covers more space than the
Braille one. In England there lave been
as many as hundred thousand volumes
printed for sightless readers, including the
Bible, the Pilgrims Progress, AIilton'a
